Ball Mastery Opposed Practice

Set up like above, 2 players in each channel, 1 ball between the two.

The session starts with players back to back with the ball between their shoulder blades, they will count to 5 and then move and challenge for the ball. Players have to take the ball to the end line they are attacking to win a point. If the ball goes out they restart the game how they started it. If a player scores they will restart the game how they started.

Play for 10 Minutes.

Finish with a small sided scrimmage, encourage players to travel with the ball at their feet and perform different turns to get past their opponent. No goalies.
